The above is q fairly good likeness OF
this gentleman, who, besides professional
excellence, is a most airable person to
meet socially.
Speaking Of the play Of "The Soap Bub-
ble,m which is Mr.. Farron's attraction for
this season, II is the creation OF Mr.. Mont
gomery Phister, q Cincinnati journalist Of
good reputation and a dramatic critic OF
the keenest perception.
The story OF the play Ia as follows: b.
Wiley Dodge is philanthropic detective,
has two daughters, La La and Lucy; the
former loves the butchers boy and the
latter good looking young gentleman OF
leisure. Bridget, the servant, has lurk-
ing affection for low comedy policeman,
who is scarcastically named ID. Sharp. The
parties in question having determined to
elope, the paternal Dodge receives forged
letter from Pinker on requesting him to
trail down q criminal, and is thus got out
Of the way. lie is supposed to go, aud
everybody elopes. The plot ends with the
first act. After that the characters en-
tirely dispense with reasons for their ac-
tions, and sing, dance, and cut pigeon
wings whenever they feel like 1t. The
scenes OF the second act are laid In an i'm
possible barber shop. The third act Is
placed on a steam yacht, on board Of which
all the characters manage to turn up. The
locality in which the play opens is sum
mer resort on the housetop, where the
Dodge family is stopping during the warm
weather.

STANDARD OILS ADVANTAGE
In Procuring Special Railroad Freight
Rates,


Rates.
The interstate commerce commission yes
terday continued the hearing in connection
with the Standard OH case. b. +. Mitchell,
general freight agent Of the western division
OF the Newport News aud Mississippi VAL
ley Railroad Company, was the first witness
called. Heappeared uncommunlcatlve at the
outset, seeming TO have some difficulty In
comprehending the queries OF complain
ants counsel; but he got along better after
the chairman had expressed his opinion to
the effect that the queries were proper and
easy OF comprehension. Among other things
witness said his company had invariably
based their charges for hauling oil In tanks
upon the car irrespective OF Its capacity or
contents.
Thereupon counsel produced copy Of
letter, the signature Of which witness ac-
knowledged, written TO complainant, CIV
ing him a rate on tank car Of the capacity
OF 20, 600 pounds ard rate on the excess.
Witness Thought this clerical error.
Counsel asked the meaning OF the words
In the upper corner OF the letter, 'dictated
by me-" Witness acknowledged having
dictated the letter, but didn't know what
the expression In question meant, as it was
contrary to all the facts in the case.
Counsel expressed desire to know how
there could have been any mistake or mis-
understanding over the matter, inasmuch
as the letter In question was one OF q
series on that very point. He produced a
, letter from complainant to witness stating
that he (complainant) did not understand
this matter, since oil In tanks was always
charged for by the car. lie also produced
a reply from witness stating that tank
was supposed to contain 10000 pounds.
"If weighs more" the letter continued,
''then we will charge for It." Witness
still thought there was mistake, and he
could not. explain II except on the theory
that he was not infallible, and that mis-.
takes were not susceptible OF explanation.
A letter was produced written by witness
to complainant Oct. II, 1885, esolicitIng
Mr.. Rce's patronage, and stating that wit
ness's road proposed to take care OF Rices
interests.
~ would be glad" wrote witness, "to
tell you some OF the propositions made to
me, but Just at present cannot.n
The letter intimated that Il Rice's com
petitors could induce witness to close down
on Rice, he would be at the mercy OF roads
which would not treat him so literally.
This letter was excluded on the'ground that
1t antedated the passage Of the interstate
law.
The cross-examination brought out some
letters from Mr. Rice to witness, acknpwl
edging the receipt Of information and the
fairness Of witness's course In general.
The examination Of the witness was moi
concluded.

Digest Of what This Charming Actress

The mslority OF people who speak from

there is truth in the old maxim, "There 10
no prophet without honor, save In his own
country" But that there are notable ex-
ceptions to such rule there is no doubt.
For example, the case of the pretty little
American actress, Minnie Palmer, who has
recently returned from three years. tour
through Great Britain and Australia. Miss
Palmer certainly had no cause to complain
that she was not sufficiently honored in her
native land long before she ventured to
seek fame and fortune in foreign countries,
